Best first pitch ever- and so beautiful too- amazing. :)

[WhoU]

He was a gentleman for sure. Letting her step on the mound.

[hhscadets]

A chick in heels pitched better than Fafa Fooey

[generalmorose]

Hershiser probably can't hum it in there like that.

[patton]

The Emirates flight attendant who threw the slider is an American girl who they hired just for this.

[Sh]

Hillary should have taken lessons from this lady before throwing out the first pitch in Chicago.

[thekongstocks]

theGREATEST PITCHER in the HISTORICAL HISTORY of MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL! ⚾

[thomaslocke]

That pitch was a ball, outside to a right-handed batter.

[redbunnytail]

Chicks, like that, scare me. But. Flight attendants are the best part of flying. They probably didn't tell Hershiser he was NOT going to through the first pitch, just to make it more realistic for these Emirates chicks.
